Scientists have long known that migrating birds and homing pigeons navigate in part by sensing the Earth’s magnetic fields, ...

"The cells we describe are ideally equipped to detect magnetic fields using electromagnetic induction—enabling pigeons to find their way home using the same physical principle which permits the ...

Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of Earth’s magnetic field. Relying on a hidden ...

However, our understanding of planetary magnetic fields is limited to the eight planets in our solar system, as we haven't yet accrued much data on the magnetic fields of exoplanets. That could be ...

Experimental set-up of hBN quantum sennsor. (Image: RMIT University) To date, quantum sensing chips have been made from diamond as it’s a very robust platform. The limitations of diamond-based sensors ...
